Mouse Controls These four map types will be encountered in World Domination, Single Player skirmish and Multi-player. There are a number of features that are shared by The mouse controls for Empire Earth III are as follows: each of these map types, as described below.

Left-Click to click a button, activate an ability, or follow-up a button owned by players by building City Centers (see the sections on each region for click with a location choice, such as to place a building for construction details). Each territory can support a single City Center and a single Market, and or tell units where to perform an ability or combat action. as many other buildings as its boundaries will permit.

Turning the mouse wheel allows you to zoom the camera in and out. The number of territories varies from map to map, but will be never be fewer than two or more than twenty. As territories only exist on land, the number of Tutorials and Tooltips territories per map is also determined by the amount of water that is present; the more water, oceans or seas on a map, the fewer territories will be present. Empire Earth III has several options for learning the basics of the game. In addition to this manual, we highly recommend that you play the Tutorials, which you can access through the Single Player menu. Tutorials teach the basics of the Terrain and Weather game, from movement, to combat, to harvesting resources. There is also a Each map type in Empire Earth III will have markedly different terrain that is separate tutorial to get you started in World Domination mode. typical for the area of the Earth that it represents.

Just about everything in Empire Earth III has that area. The type of weather on a map will vary by climate and intensity. For a tooltip: units, buildings, resources, and UI icons and buttons. To see a tooltip, instance, an Arid climate map will either have Wind (low intensity) or Dust simply move the mouse cursor over what you would like more information Storm (high intensity).

Treasures Treasures are special items discovered by a player’s units as they explore and conquer the world. Treasures will appear as either buildings containing special units, or as “relics” (small items the player finds). By claiming a treasure the player will be provided with a one time benefit, either special units or resources. Some treasures are guarded, in which case the guards must be eliminated before the treasure can be claimed.

Native Tribes Resources Native Tribes are local to a province or map and are basically “mini- There are three types of resources in Empire Earth III: Raw Materials, Wealth civilizations.” Native Tribes go about their lives in the game world, pursuing and Tech Points. their goals, making the landscape more alive and providing potential rivals or allies for players. Native Tribes differ from AI players in that they are not trying Raw Materials to win the game. Maps can differ in the number and types of raw material sites they have. A

map’s climate may also play a factor as to what types of sites are most likely to Players can enter into normal alliances with Native Tribes, or a player can be there. The types of raw material sites are: attempt to “assimilate” a tribe by increasing relations with the tribe past a certain threshold (i.e., beyond “Love” – see below). • Mines (Ore) • Forests (Wood) • Quarries (Stone) • Fish schools (Fish)

Relations Once collected, all Raw Materials are interchangeable and go into the same Relations affect how AIs (full players and tribes) feel about the human player(s) stockpile. Raw Materials are used primarily to purchase units and buildings. or other AIs in the game. This gives another avenue besides military engagement for a human player to interact with AIs. A player must build a Warehouse adjacent to a Raw Material site in order to begin collecting the resource. Warehouses have three workers to start, but Each human player has a relationship with every AI (whether full player or additional workers can be purchased by filling the slots in the Warehouse. Each tribe). This relationship is inherently symmetrical: for any two players there is additional worker costs more than the one previously purchased for that one value of their relationship. Relations are displayed to the player as one of building. five values: Hate, Dislike, Indifference, Like, and Love. Wealth AIs are much more likely to accept alliance proposals with players they Love, and can be more easily tempted into war against players they Hate. Similarly, Wealth is generated by building a market and establishing trade routes. Once a there is an increased chance they will propose an alliance, or declare war of their market has been built, the Player’s first trade cart will appear and establish a own accord, against such players.

The player purchases worker slots in the City Center to hire “scholars,” which generate a steady stream of tech points. City Centers do not come with any slots—all slots must be bought. All slots produce tech at the same static rate.

As any good commander knows, your units are only as effective as you make them. Study the info below and you will be conquering and pillaging in no time! The UI panel for your initial builder unit will display a selection of buildings that can be purchased.

Some abilities your units already know, while others must be taught to them through research. Siege Weapons Siege Weapons are your largest engines of war on land. While very slow moving, Siege Weapons are devastatingly powerful when used against enemy structures. Even one siege weapon can destroy an enemy building, wall, or tower quickly. Siege Weapons are very vulnerable, however, due to their slow speed and inability to fight off any kind of short range or melee attack. Make sure to protect these important weapons with Infantry or Cavalry escorts.

Small Ships Your navy is made up of two general classes of watercraft, one of which is the Small Ship type. Most small ships are useful for transporting land units, and all are great at putting holes in other ships.

Large Ships Large Ships are often towering behemoths that wily commanders can use to bombard coastal targets from off shore. Most Large Ships can also transport units, but they are poor at fighting off any kind of direct attack from other ships.

Light Tanks Light Tanks are highly mobile vehicles, but not well armored. They are strong against Basic Infantry, but weak versus Heavy Tanks.

Combat Actions can be used by different types of units and therefore differ from unit abilities, which are unique to a specific unit. Combat Actions are a • Allies – Players who are allies cannot attack each other. Allies share combination of unit formations and objectives for your units to carry out, all line of sight (LOS) with each other by default. There are three basic built around an intended goal.

Making Alliances and Declaring War You can easily send a basic alliance proposal or declare war on another player or a native tribe. When you bring up the Diplomacy controls, select the player you want to ally with or declare war on. A series of diplomatic option buttons appear. To instantly propose a Timed Alliance or a Breakable Alliance, click the appropriate button. The default timed alliance is 10 minutes.

To declare war on a player and become mutual enemies, click the Declare War button (next to the alliance buttons). To declare war on a neutral player, you can instead “force attack” that player’s units. Select units and order them to attack by holding the Alt key and attacking a target by right-clicking on it.

When a player sends an alliance or any kind of proposal to you, the Diplomacy button will blink. Click it and you’ll see the button of the player(s) who sent a proposal blinking. If only one proposal is pending, “Quick Response” buttons will appear by the player button, otherwise click the player button to see Quick Response options for that player’s proposal. The Quick Response buttons allow you to accept or reject a proposal instantly, or make a counter proposal (see Proposals below). Hover your mouse pointer over the buttons to see a tooltip that summarizes what the other player has proposed.

Tributes You may also offer or request a change of diplomatic state with a third party Players can tribute resources, units and buildings to other players or Native (see picture). These conditions go into effect only when the proposal has been Tribes. (This can be particularly effective at raising your Relations with a tribe.) accepted by both parties.

Then click Diplomacy and select the player to tribute to. Click the the player who sent the original proposal will give when the proposal is Tribute Units button and the selected units or buildings are given to the selected accepted.

Some events are optional, so you can choose to accept or skip them.
